Title
Letter from Francis William Newman to William Allingham, February 12, 1876
Creator
Newman, Francis William  
Date
1876-02-12  
Description
One letter from English scholar and philosopher Francis William Newman to William Allingham stating that after he had received Allingham's letter, Newman reached out to his friend Reverend James Clark, who is the Honorary Vegetarian Secretary. Newman also expresses his wishes to submit an article on the subject of public ethics. He makes clear to Allingham that he does intend for it to be a political article, and intends to name the article "Cruelty." The letter is accompanied by a page titled, "Lessons in Elementary Physiology," by Thomas H. Huxley, which discusses dissection on animals and the possible cruelty taught to children. This additional text is likely connected to Newman's article on "Cruelty." Newman does not sign the letter, but there is a note from Allingham stating that the letter is from F.W. Newman. Along with the note from Allingham, there is also a small sketch of a house.
